Mine was a Tamiya Thunder Dragon QD. It used AA batteries and annoying 9V in the transmitter, awkward scale (1/14th scale, WTF?), and you cannot get replacement parts since QD stuff are toy-grade. But man, I miss that car. Had a AA slow charger but everyday after grade school, I was able to get 15 minutes out of that sucker after a night's full charge.
Sucker ended up in the scrap box after the RC10CE Graphite Edition rolled into my hands...
I miss you Thunder Dragon QD... Whatever landfill you must be in...
